Beverly Hills Cop II
Chaos Unfolds After Solving the Alphabet Crimes
Chief Lutz What the hell have you done here? Looks like a goddamn war zone. What in the hell have you done, Taggart? Tell me.
[Arriving with his assitant Biddle and Mayor Ted Egan]
Rosewood We solved the Alphabet crimes.
Chief Lutz You shut up! Who the hell is talking to you? I personally solved the Alphabet case up in a body bag over an hour ago. And you, I don't give a goddamn what agency you say you're working for, you're in jail, buddy.
[to Axel]
Rosewood Chief, wait a...
Chief Lutz SHUT UP! What the hell do you think you're doing, bringing a fire fight in the middle of my city? You're out of the cop business for good, forever!
Rosewood Will you just listen a minute?
Chief Lutz Shut up! You shut your mouth once and for all!
Rosewood NO GODDAMN IT, YOU SHUT UP! This is what the Alphabet crimes are all about... guns!
Chief Lutz Guns?
Rosewood That guy sold them, and Dent bought em with stolen money from Adriano's and his own racetrack. He was on his way to Central America. And if you'd bothered to take your head out of your ass, YOU'D SEE WE SOLVED THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING!
[points to Nikos Thomopolis, who is being arrested; Simultaneously, another sgt. hands Mayor Egan Thomopolis' notebook and the mayor looks at it]
Chief Lutz You watch yourself.
Mayor Egan Just a minute. Lutz. Why didn't I know about this?
[Looks at the notes again]
Taggart Because Chief Lutz doesn't have the guts to hear the truth from real cops. That's why we had to go undercover with Detective Foley to solve this case.
Chief Lutz That cuts it, Taggart! You're fired!
Taggart Yeah? Kiss my ass!
Chief Lutz KISS MINE! You're fired too!
[Turns to Rosewood]
Mayor Egan Lutz
Chief Lutz Isn't that right?
Mayor Egan I think I've just about had it with your abusive attitude.
Chief Lutz I'm sorry, I get carried away, I'm sorry.
Mayor Egan You're fired. Do you understand that?
Chief Lutz Don't overreact, Ted. Please.
Mayor Egan You're fired. I want you out of here now. Get out of here! FIRED!
Chief Lutz You'll regret this, Ted.
Mayor Egan I regret it. Now I've regretted it for the last two months.
[Turns to Biddle]
Harold Lutz You'll regret this!
[Simultaneously]
Mayor Egan You're fired too, You're out of here, get out of here.
[Simultaneously]
Biddle Aw I didn't do anything. I didn't... I didn't do anything.
[Simultaneously]
Mayor Egan Will you get out? Get out!
[Simultaneously]
Foley Are they civilians now?
Mayor Egan You bet.
Foley I'm gonna kick your ass later!
Mayor Egan Axel, thank you so much, really. I've gotta go to a charity meeting, food for the homeless for Beverly Hills. But Tomorrow...
Foley Oh. Food for the Homeless Wait a second, I'd like to make a donation sir. Here's $200 in the name of Sidney Bernstein. That's my alias. I don't like a lot of publicity.
Mayor Egan Thank you, Axel... I mean, Sidney Bernstein. Thank you, gentlemen very much.
Rosewood Thank you, sir.
Mayor Egan Thank you.
Foley If you get your head out of your ass long enough"? "Kiss my ass"? You're getting more and more like me every day. Next thing you know, you're gonna have afros... Big dicks and all.

The Candidate
Instructions for On-Camera Presence
Klein You're going to be sitting camera right. All the time while Jarmon's talking, just keep looking at Jarmon. Jarmon talks, you look at Jarmon.
Bill McKay Right.
Klein Try to keep your eyes steady. Don't blink. Whatever you do, don't look up at all. Don't look up. Don't look up, because your eyes are glazed and you look cock-eyed. You look like a moron.

A Playful Exchange of Words
Jonah Hey... Cal van Damp. What's the good word with you?
Cal van Damp Well, you're the bright boy, I figured you'd know.
Jonah Steatopygous.
Cal van Damp What?
Jonah Steatopygous. It means a large rump, a fat ass.
Cal van Damp Why's that the good word?
Jonah Well, it's like, see, what if I was to—if I was to say to you, "Cal, you have a very fat ass.", you could be offended. But if I say, "Hey! Good evening, Cal. You sure look steatopygous.", then you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, do you?
Cal van Damp Hope you don't have any plans for getting your records played on any radio stations.
Jonah Not really, no.
Cal van Damp Well you shouldn't, cause you won't get any.
